The Washington Legal Foundation, which as Jim pointed out on Friday has lately published a number of papers of interest to legal reformers, also has a webcast series of hourlong programs on various topics. Just added is a session with Victor Schwartz and Skadden Arps's J. Russell Jackson on "The Next Wave of State Tort Litigation?: Liability Risks under Consumer Protection Laws and Public Nuisance Theories". Other topics of webcasts in the series include deferred prosecution agreements, expanding duties of corporate directors, the Arthur Andersen prosecution and the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005.
